Yes, The DarkKnight is rising again
Hi Dharam,
I'm on Checkrom V7 and wait for a DarkKnight LQ5 Kernel
Do they really stop developing for SG2?

I think they really stopped,leomar wrote "no more s2 developing" on CR forum ,so...
can anyone recommend a governor best suited for heavy use? smartassv2 doesn't really handle resource-intensive apps very well.

Hi,
i wanted to thank you for this fantastic Kernel.
Using it ont CM9 RC2.
I'm coming from Siyah, and Fluxi, but your Kernel just blows everything away. Best Battery Life of all.
And with the upcoming fixes, especially BLN, it will be even better! Good Luck with your exams! And keep up this Good work.
Adding some Screenshots of my Battery Stats, and still 30% left(kernel default settings):
Edit: Added 2 new Screenshots, resulting in a Screen-On-Time with 5h 11m. I'm very happy with that.

Hi i use siyah with miui i want to install asnet and darkknight!
I like to know if darkkn. is for battery saving or / and preformance ?
I like to play gtaIII and other games so preformance and stability is important anny one has exp. or a tip ? tanks

First try the default settings. If they are not good for your usage, you can try to overclock to 1200 and to change governor to ondemand or pegasusq..

This was my first full cycle with DarkKnight v1.9.2, and the SensatioN ROM 3.5. And these are my results.
On the phone i was basically using chrome and whatsapp. I have no widgets on my homescreen and used the default kernel settings without changing anything. Note that i have a different non-samsung battery from "anker" with 1900mAh.
I think these are pretty decent results for the first cycle so keep up the good work
Ill continue to test your kernel, maybe also with different roms like cm9 rc2.
This is another one of my longest screen on time. The uptime is just 7hrs+ tho, I think.
Ondemand & sio
Auto Brightness
200-800mhz
Hey, i can't post in the development section, so i'm asking in this thread:
flashed 1.9.2 today and can't disable the LEDs. if i disable them in the system settings they stay disabled as long as i don't lock the screen. after unlocking they are enabled again. hadn't that problem with 1.8.
cache and dalvik already wiped.
any suggestions?
How do you guys get such great battery with high screen time? I have brightness set to auto. Whenever I have the screen on I can see my battery % drop very quickly.

I'm not responsible to any damage which is caused by applying this kernel (boot.img) to your phone ！
I've built a new kernel with BFS scheduler which is created by Con Kolivas (http://ck-hack.blogspot.com/) by patching genokolar's overclock kernel source (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059029).
I've tested this new kernel on my phone, I'm running the custom rom 160 which is created by stockwell (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059753), so far I'm quite impressed by the quick responsiveness of the phone even I set the cpu clock back to 800MHz in conservative mode.
Unfortunately the WiFi is not working, I hope later I can do factory reset to see if that will fix it, anyone willing to give it a trial and let me know the result is very appreciated !
Please note you may need to wipe the dalvik cache after install and reboot several times.

Looks like firefox adblock plus block my upload file.
I've tested this kernel several days, it works quite stable for me as long as you can boot it up, there may be a pop up says that system is not response during boot up, just ignore it.
There two things I found so far...
1. wifi is not working
2. battery drains out faster and warmer, I guess that's relate to overclock, if I set the clock back 800MHz, it seems ok.

What's the profit with a Brain **** Scheduler?
Cm7 uses the Bfs too.
Wikipedia says that that is speeding up the responsibility from your phone.

But will it serve good purpose ?
What happens if they add a bogus algorithm instead of the brain **** one?
as soon as wifi is working i can try it and report bugs (if there are any)...

CM7 does not use BFS. We decided it was too buggy. It causes all sorts of instability on the Blade and other devices. Probably has a similar effect on the U8800 after a while

Using wiki as reference isn't the best.
However seeing that it does some bogus at points where the active thread of a normal priority process wants another time slice, and in ready block there is a lower priority process who wants a brief time slice it gives the time slice to the active thus allowing stupid **** ups. I guess its not good at all ?
Some good patches to add might be BFQ and the smartass CPU scheduler. Both seem to be stable and have good performance on my Blade and my Wildfire

Lol why sorry? Just clarifying that while CM may have used it in the past, no official CyanogenMod ROMs include it
BFS404 is pretty stable and I've been running it on my kernels for about a month and I have no complains, everything runs smooth, fast and battery friendly.
Hi guys! Lot's of threads are about "the best rom" or "best kernel and battery life" but there is no best rom or kernel. Everyone has his own taste Please share your favorite rom&kernel + your settings. and offcourse share your experience with performance and battery life
I'm currently trying out a few roms and will get back when I see some good replies here!

One problem with stock ROMs: features limited, otherwise, they are great in terms of stability.
For me, i'm balancing between codenameandroid and MIUI(miui.us versions).

Was using CNA before for 2 months, but always thought that stock is more smoother. Don't mind that much for features and got fed up with constant updating.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I used stock non rooted for some time and I liked the smoothness. The thing I missed was BLN and some other options. Also the battery life with moderate use is less good then some custom roms. Now flashing strawberry rom =)
I'm rocking CM10 w/ Marmite right now since they merged in 4.1.2 asap.. As soon as AOKP Build #5 is released I'm jumping back on the Unicorn saddle w/ Marmite though.. Love me some unicorns!

With rascarlos roms (Rascream before & Rasbean now) i always have 2 days. With very hard use...when i do corrections to my theme and flashing 10-20 times a day...have all day of battery.
On the road with my NexusS...
I'm going to try that as i too have rasbean jelly 10/10 build on my ns4g w/ marmite kernel 4.8.7. This combo plays very nice as well. I've had no reboots and the battery life gets me to about 24 - 32 hours of life. Going to see if i can actually beat that with Trinity kernel.
TNS11-JB-ALPHA12 is this the t11 kernel you use?

Well for the 4.8.7 version, the scheduler is CFQ and i use On Demand 200min/ 1000max. I use NS Tools to put the On Demand Sampling rate at 120000 to save battery. This works for me.

How can you use rasbean jelly on the nexus s 3g? I thought it only was for the nexus s 4G version?
Oh one more thing, what does that mean if i change the on demand sampling rate from 40000 to 120000?

What will a custom kernel do for me. I have been thinking about rooting but I do not want to flash a ROM. I am really loving stock. How will a kernel benefit me. I heard they have something to do with battery. How is that?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
With a custom kernel you can do some really cool tinkering for example
- underclock (save battery)
-undervolt ( MAY save battery , but will def help with heat)
- change governor ( may help battery)
- change screen properties . I.e colours
- GPU over clock / under clock ( obvious)
Other cool performance tweaks as well

I'd go with franco's kernel for now.
All of them are new and may have bugs, but franco is a longtime kernel developer and he's the least likely to do stupid stuff or claim features that actually hurt performance or are just placebos.
Franco's kernels seem good. I use it on my N7, but I just wouldn't use it yet as he's working blind. Faux has some amazing battery saving kernels. Mathkid's kernels pretty well as well, I used to use his on the Nexus S back in the day.

I'd be careful about recommending a kernel where the developer is doing so blindly. Honestly its very irresponsible. Unless he's got a device that's 99.9% identical, i cant recommended it.

Under clock can be done on a stock kernel just needs root. Custom kernel allows over clock doubt its needed though CPU is fast enough.
Different governors can be used on stock too but custom kernels may offer extra ones like smartass etc.
They may also add things like NTFS cifs run etc not available in stock.
Using Motleys kernel just now too soon to comment on improvements.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If stock is working for you, there's no reason to flash another, unless you have the itch.
The stock kernel is great, and undervolting is more trouble than it's worth if you're starting from scratch, unless tinkering with voltages is your thing, and there's zero need to overclock the N4 CPU or GPU IMO. There aren't a ton of options, yet, either. 3.4 is pretty young yet.

Agree. Franco is amazing and once he actually has the device he will only improve.
Yeah -- that was my other experience, I'm using franco's kernel and have been since day one.
Quite stable at least so far, no crazy changes.
Hey guys
Just wanted to know your experiences with rom/kernel combos with reference to HD gaming and videos..Which rom/kernel you use and have seen is the best for gaming and 720 HD videos.. Ofcourse please mention first your setups without any overclock which have given you the best performance i.e good fps rate, no lags, no unwanted lag spikes and fps drops
Do feel free to mention your overclocked setups and the settings (like scheduler, governer etc) which give you best performance
P.S: I just want inputs from various users as there are variety of threads for getting good battery life, underclocking, undervolting etc..but there is hardly any info on extracting the best performance possible from S2
thanx
Only stock rom can give you best performance

All of the 4.2.2 roms I have tried have a settings option called Performance that lets you set the min/max CPU speeds, switch between different kinds of governors, and play around with RAM management settings.

So far the clocks have stuck Meaning once you set a clock its stays there, doesn't reset to default. As for govs and I/O, I use msm-dvcs as my gov and row as my I/O. Msm-dvcs will shut a CPU core down when not needed

Unfortunately I don't dabbled in profiles as I personally find them unreliable. I just stick it at a certain clock and set my govs and I/O. If you want to know my configuration, I set my clock to 1350MHz and min to 384. The gov and I/O I've already mentioned.
